tory of the enterprise, with brief description
in connection with the cuts we present, will
enable the reader to form Judgment on
these important questions
Mr.. Meigs says that he conceived the idea
Of such a railroad in 1867, but was near
twenty years in perfecting it. In 1S79-S0 he
formed an association to push it; in 1881 he
made application to the Massachusetts legis-
lature for charter, but was overwhelmingly
defeated. Three years of hard work secured
him the approval of the legislature; but in the
meantime an influential section Of Boston had
been converted to his views and GA 900 citizens
signed petition for charter This provided
for the organization of the "Meigs Elevated
Railway company" to construct a road from
Bowdoin square, in Boston, to the city of
Cambridge, restricting the widest part of the
track to twenty-five and one-half inches, and
providing strictly that such road should not
be built until its safety had been proved to the
board of railroad commissioners or competent
engineers appointed by them. To convince
them and other doubters the experimental
track at East Cambridge was erected. This
consists of level way abruptly changing to
grade of 120 feet to the mile upon half
circle or horseshoe curve on radius Of only
fifty feet Indeed, SO short is the curve that
long passenger car going around it has its
middle section almost entirely off the track,
the trucks following around the curve, while
the cas-, of course, remains straight Almost
every observer, and not few engineers, said
chat an engine of thirty tons, with tender.
drawing car longer than the radius of the
curve, and the train occupying LOG of the 157
feet in the half circle, could not possibly
make such turn, much less ascend grade
of 100 feet to the mile. Yet it was done--not
once, but many hundred times. The adhe-
sion of engine and cars to the track is secured
by inclined wheels, grooved to set on pro-
iecting edges below the center of the car, as
well as by horizontal wheels. .......

A long steep hill. At the bottom a
runaway horse and wrecked carriage:
halfway up the insensible form of Mr..
Morton Talbot, SO far on his search for
Maggie Osborne, or the lost diamonds;
at the top a comfortable farmhouse and
young lady just coming through the
gate to Mr.. Talbot's relief.
Help was near, and with very little
delay unfortunate Talbot was safely
ensconced between the white sheets in
the good housewives spare bed. His
senses came back to him at last, and his
first words were:

alike that when a murder is commit
ted in Chinatown 1t IS impossible 10
find out the murderer unless the
Cinnamon help in the quest. Curious
~ enough people in China make the
same complaint oF Europeans and
Americans, that they look so much
alike that it IS impossible to distin-
guish them. People who have not
been accustomed to seeing negroes
think that all black people look alike,
but IN days Of slavery no one had any
difficulty in recognizing his slaves,
whose differences OF form and feature
are as apparent as those Of any class
of people. In strange species We see
the resemblance, in the familiar we
discern the differences. Members Of
the same family 10 not imagine they
look alike, while 10 strangers the re-
semblance is very striking. To the
shepherd every sheep Of his flock Is as
distinctly individual "a the dog that
drives them, while to an unaccustom-
ed eye all sheep are as much alike As
the shot that are run IN the same
mold. The Chinese are not more
similar TO each other than Americans:

Boil. THE WATER.-Reports con-
tinue to come in, almost daily, OF a
serious and frequently fatal epidemic
of dysentery in several counties in
the State, In the absence of def
mite information of the cause of the
sickness, it is suggested that the
local newspapers urge upon the PEG
pie of the counties where they are
published the adoption Of the simple
precaution of boiling the water, used
for drinking, and even for cooking
purposes. Aside from indiscretions
in diet, the affection in question is
perhaps oftenest caused by impurl-
ties in the drinking water, and boil
ing the water is the only means of
purifying it that is within the reach
of most families. It is unquestion-
able that many lives would be saved
in the effected districts by the adop-
ton of this simple and Inexpensive
precaution. Home Democrat,
